Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013167336A2] The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for estimating the shape of an acoustic trailing antenna (12), wherein the shape is estimated using Kalman filtering. First of all, this involves the deterministic component (u(ki)) of the state equation of the Kalman filter being set to zero. In addition, successive discrete times (ki) are predefined and, at the predefined times (ki), a respective estimated shape for the trailing antenna (12) is described by a model-based state vector (x)(ki). In this case, the model-based state vectors (x)(ki) are ascertained by the estimated timing response of a mechanical model (24) of the trailing antenna (12) and by movements in a traction point (16) for the trailing antenna (12) that are assumed to be known. The discrepancy in the respective current model-based state vector (x)(ki) is determined for one or more preceding model-based state vectors (x)(ki-1), is considered as a current matrix (F)(ki), and the current transition matrix (F)(ki) is periodically updated for the Kalman filtering with the ascertained matrices (F)(ki).
